Expected to add emerging technology such as Internet technologies things rise up to $ 14 billion for the 20 largest economies in the world by 2030, to come in turn, leaders ranked fifth in global GDP this, and in light of the human future will automatically move towards digital transformation, working many companies in the Middle East and Africa region over the entire digital transformation to achieve through the adoption of IT security policy of a powerful and flexible information.

A report by Ernst & Young for 2015 that the Gulf countries account for a large proportion of the transfers of funds via mobile phones in the world, topped the UAE’s highest use of money transfer via mobile phones in the Gulf region by 34% operations, while followed by Kuwait at 27%, Qatar 19%, Saudi Arabia 15%.

It is expected that the volume of expenditure over security and protection market in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to reach 10.41 billion dollars by the end of 2022, according to a private study of the company “dot-com Research Land Market” researchandmarkets.com.

And adopting companies to new technologies such as cloud computing will accelerate the digital transformation, knowing that such as these new technologies are built and designed taking into account the safety, security and privacy standards, while the trademark technological reliable operating in the spending of millions of dollars to own a safe structure supports data privacy and encrypted, in addition so these techniques require the presence of specialized training in the field of security, who are watching the infrastructure of the institution to ensure full protection from cyber attacks.

Microsoft spends more than a billion dollars a year in the field of protection and safety. It is a figure much higher proportion than spend the rest of the companies in this field, and represents banks Revolution leaders of digital and especially in the Middle East and Africa, where banking clients demanding on a permanent basis to provide innovative mobile technologies , moreover 100% of medium – sized enterprises in the Middle East and Africa, banks are willing to embrace mobile technology this year , while 65% of the banks showed willingness to embrace the implementation of cloud technology at the present time or dependence within the next 12 months.

In another study of security and protection Gartner research revealed that 95% of security breaches cloud of this year and 2020 will be a errors from clients and not service providers, this confirms that the responsibility for security and protection is no longer the preserve of IT in the organization department but companies must work to ensure the security and protection essential as a process across the entire network and applications and access points in order to avoid any errors or security breaches, but this process is completed correctly, we must raise awareness among employees and train them in order to raise their skills and abilities technology.

The entire organization must adapt and keep pace with new technologies and not just focus on the IT department, and the new Capgemini report indicates that the organization ‘s ability to self – regulation position to be able to offer new value of digital technologies.

Said Paul Fisher Pierre Udwin consulting firm manager , who has done research in the role of identity and access management in the digital transformation that most electronic violations today are the result of simple mistakes by the staff, most of which occur due to recognize staff emails carrying malicious attachments, in addition to the failure to follow security policies training and lessons.

It is noteworthy that levels of security are very important things that touch turn everything from machinery, buildings, tools and other pieces of the supplied sensor equipment designed Internet technologies, work smart and automatic way through the data transfer of all sizes to intelligent software and benefit from platforms in the decision-making and better insights, so compete many industries and companies to adopt this model to gain competitive advantage, but the challenge lies in the possession of Internet technology things in the amount of data unlimited, which are stored, and this automatically increases the number of staff able to access sensitive information, hence the organizations must provide structure safe technological infrastructure to ensure that all of this data can be controlled and managed centrally.

Cloud computing technology has the ability to follow the smart mechanism to reflect in a clear and flexible security policies of the company rules, in addition to the automatic mechanism that carried out the storage, security operations, thus reducing the amount of high pressure on the human element.

Cyber ​​attacks targeting 80% of the known system vulnerabilities , but can cloud computing to provide system that provides reports for errors and recent corrections, and then delivered to your IT system as soon as is disclosed, where Microsoft is working as a center of global security provide staff to respond 24 hours a day to the events of digital crimes and encrypt all data in transit between you and Microsoft’s own data centers.

Organizations spend up to a million dollars to build a secure data center of its own, not to mention the need for a number of specialists are highly skilled clock to run such operations, noting that all of these actions is based cloud service provider care by providing the best experts in the field , which helps in promoting the process of the evolution of the organization and increase its productivity.
